Home > Dental Implants > Pterygoid Dental Implant
The Surcam® Pterygoid Dental Implant is designed for placement into the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone, providing strong posterior anchorage when conventional implants cannot be placed due to severe maxillary bone loss.
By engaging dense cortical bone in the pterygoid region, this implant allows clinicians to restore posterior support without sinus augmentation procedures, simplifying treatment for advanced atrophy cases.
The design is optimized to match the anatomy of the posterior maxilla, enabling secure placement and long-term prosthetic stability.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits
Precision internal connection ensures stable prosthetic seating and compatibility with Surcam restorative components.
Smooth cervical neck available in 2 mm or 4 mm with TiN/PVD coating to support soft tissue health and reduce bacterial adhesion.
Optimized macro-design improves insertion control and enhances engagement in dense cortical bone.
Sand-blasted and acid-etched surface increases bone-to-implant contact and supports reliable osseointegration.
Aggressive thread profile improves fixation and stability during placement in the posterior maxilla.
Narrow apical design facilitates guided insertion and stable anchorage within the pterygoid region.
